  • Patent number: 6681712
    Abstract: A housing for mounting electronic equipment in a personal watercraft, the housing including a foam piece adapted to be disposed within the hull. The foam piece can have at least one battery cavity formed therein adapted to at least partially contain a battery. The foam piece can also have at least one engine electronics control box cavity adapted to at least partially contain an engine electronics control box. The foam preferably has holes formed entirely through the foam for securing straps around the electronics using hook and loop type fasteners. The foam can be a closed cell, floatation foam. A personal watercraft can be assembled by dropping the foam into a bottom hull, inserting pre-wired devices into mounting cavities in the foam, and securing the devices by wrapping the strap free ends upon themselves. The foam maintenance center can be secured to the watercraft using an expandable material inserted between the foam and the top deck, and allowing the material to expand.
